What I forgot to make clear in my Hamster Theatre post is the video I posted is from that show in Seattle, recorded by no less than Mr Bob Drake, in the first time HT had ever performed outside Colorado at "The Progman Cometh" (I know, stupid name for the festival), it was like 10am and no one in that tiny audience in that empty theater (I think The Moore holds about 1k) will ever forget it.

But RIO bands sadly don't really play around here.
Although Fred Frith comes here often. His wife is from around here (southern Germany). Hope he'll revisit his RIO days on a tour in my vicinity at some point.

Where are you again, grindy? I was stationed for a year and a half in Bamberg ('78-79, and yes I'm sure that's way before your time). I saw Zappa twice, including this event in Ulm
(I'll talk more about this in a more appropriate forum, or maybe I already have, idk)
Speaking of Frith, and my extension Naked City, my pick for the most terrifying piece of music I've ever heard
